How can I trim parameters for a piped command?

Question

_{Thursday, February 14, 2019 11:12 PM}

Get-LocalGroupMember administrators | Where-Object {$_.PrincipalSource -eq 'MicrosoftAccount'} | Get-LocalUser

This code fails because I don't know how to trim the computer name from the local user account name.  Can someone show me?

It's trying to send "computername\username".....Get-LocalUser wants the username.

Consider PS as a video game that requires you to learn how to use tokens and how to apply magical incantations.  Your job is to find the incantation that converts the token to the secret required to pass.

(Get-LocalGroupMember administrators | Where-Object {$_.PrincipalSource -eq 'MicrosoftAccount'}).Name -split '\\' | select -last 1

The longer method is this:

Get-LocalGroupMember administrators | 
    Where-Object { $_.PrincipalSource -eq 'MicrosoftAccount' } | 
    ForEach-Object{ Get-LocalUser -SID $_.SID } | 
    Select-Object name
